My Lumia 920 died. Why is it not charging or starting up?
The phone turned off while my son was playing a game on my Lumia 920. I tried to charge it, but it did not charge—and it's not even showing Nokia Logo. It shows nothing—just like a dead phone. I tried both hard and soft resets, but nothing works.
I thought it was the charging port because there was a small physical defect near the USB charging port (voiding the warranty). I ordered an OEM USB port charging connector flex cable. I changed the charging port.
Now I see that it installed the driver on my PC when I connected through the USB cable. But it's still not charging, and it displays nothing when I try to charge it or power it on.
What can cause this problem, and which part needs to be changed in order to work properly? Thanks.
Is this a good question?

Hello,
When you had it apart did you look to see if any of the connections where still connected? Maybe a connector to the screen has been loosened? Or perhaps the screen itself has gone bad. I would suggest to check all the connections inside the device.

Thanks @JSmith, I tried to look for cables that can be loose. I only see Battery cable and microUSB Charger Flex Cable. I tightened both of them. Do I need to disassemble the phone further to look for more cables? Can the screen go bad by it self?
Thanks

Have you checked your battery with a multimeter? Have you replaced the battery yet at all? You said "physical defect near by USB charging port " where is near by? Post an image of the "area" with the defect with your question.
